Comparing living donor and deceased donor liver transplantation: A matched national analysis from 2007 to 2012

Richard S. Hoehn, Gregory C. Wilson, Koffi Wima, Samuel F. Hohmann, Emily F. Midura, E. Steve Woodle, Daniel E. Abbott, Ashish Singhal, Shimul A. Shah – 11 July 2014 – A complete evaluation of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the United States has been difficult because of the persistent low volume and the lack of adequate comparisons with deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). Recent reports have suggested outcomes equivalent to those for DDLT, but these studies did not adjust for differences in recipient selection.

Reframing the impact of combined heart‐liver allocation on liver transplant wait‐list candidates

David S. Goldberg, Peter P. Reese, Sandra Amaral, Peter L. Abt – 11 July 2014 – Simultaneous heart‐liver (H‐L) transplantation, although rare, has become more common in the United States. When the primary organ is a heart or liver, patients receiving an offer for the primary organ automatically receive the second, nonprimary organ from that donor. This policy raises issues of equity, such as whether liver transplantation alone candidates bypassed by H‐L recipients are disadvantaged.
